Dear Sonoma Valley Residents, Business Owners and Visitors,

For the past 16 years, Sonoma Valley Fire & Rescue has been there when you've needed them. We have proudly carried on a tradition of Sonoma Valley-based ambulance service that dates back nearly seven decades. Support from our members has helped make this remarkable record possible.

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about what will happen to our local hospital emergency room. Many dedicated Valley residents are working hard to find a way to keep a full-service hospital right here in the Valley. Regardless of what happens, I want to assure you that we will be here to respond with state-of- the-art paramedic care when you need us.

Sonoma Valley Fire & Rescue Ambulance Membership remains one of the best values you will find anywhere. And there is now a additional benefit of enhanced membership: access to the extensive REACH Air Medical Services system.

As always, our members don't have to worry about being billed for the prompt, professional paramedic care provided by Sonoma Valley Fire & Rescue. And, if you choose to participate, you and your entire family can also be comforted by knowing that emergency air ambulance transportation is available to you as an enhanced member benefit. For a critically ill or injured person, time is of the essence and when someone needs specialized care, such as trauma surgery, a REACH Air Ambulance can make the difference.

Please become a part of this successful program. Together we can keep the Valley a safe place to live, work and enjoy life. To begin to enjoy the benefits of membership, simply download and complete a membership application form and send it back to us.
